Born Pretty Store BK Review + Nail Art

I wasn't going to do a post this week because I have so much work to do, but when I received these polishes in the post from Born Pretty Store I knew I wanted to create some nail art along with the review. The products I received were #13 and #16 from these polishes. All swatches are without topcoat. More photos after the jump!

First up is #16 (unfortunately these dont have names, only numbers) which is your typical red, the red I'd previously been using was more jelly-like and I'm glad to have received this one as it's a lot more opaque, this will definitely be my go-to red from now on. In this photo I used 2 coats, but I could probably have got away with just the one (it really is the perfect red). The polish also wasn't as thick as I thought it would be, I'd say it was what I'd consider "normal" consistency and for the opacity you get that's definitely a good thing!

The second polish is #13 which is a lovely pink. and although I have tons of pinks in my collection this is actually completely different to all I own, I wasn't expecting it to be because it seems pretty generic but it it's a really lovely shade, I struggled to capture it properly in the pictures. Again I used 2 coats for full opacity.

Remember you can use my code KHL91 to get 10% off these polishes, which are $2.95 each with free shipping!

I decided to create some nail art with #13 and when looking through my 'to do' list I decided it would be a good time to recreate my 'Inspired by fashion' nails from the 31 day nail art challenge which I've been meaning to do in pink for a while. What do you think?

Hope you like them! Alice

This product was sent to me for review but any opinions included are entirely my own and were not affected in any way by anyone else

I'm 14 years old and I just started my own nail art blog. You're very inspirational for me and I just LOOOOOOVE to watch all your designs! I really like the fact that almost all your manicures are matte, it's gorgeous! I would be very happy if you could visit my blog maybe? xxxx

Oh my gosh, this is crazy! It's the first time I've checked out your blog, which I came to because I realized I pin a lot of your photos on Pinterest & I was searching for inspiration to use a nail polish I bought last night that looks just like the #13 polish you used in this manicure! I never would have thought about using it with black&white. I'm in love with this-I'm a sucker for stripes, especially in black&white! I usually just look for inspiration & then come up with my own version of something but it's very tempting to do this exact design. Playing around and creating my own designs is what I love to spend my time doing though! Who knows.... in the end, I may not be happy with anything I come up with after seeing something that is so fitting for me!

I absolutely love to read all your comments, they make my day! So please do not hesitate to tell me what you think, but I ask that you don't link spam to your blog in your comment, thankyou so much everyone!
